Can I drive to the tower of London, Sunday, disabled badge

[Slyjoe]

As above - is it do-able?
Congestion charge on a Sunday?
Where to park? - the missus isnt too mobile and has a blue badge.
Help please.

No congestion charge on the weekends and check parking here - http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/services/transport-...

Well worth seeing the Poppies looks great.

Their website has a fairly good access guide for inside there too.. http://www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/accessguide

Unf a lot of the inside of the Tower is not that disabled friendly.

It seems hundreds of years ago they didn't care about making easy access for people who couldn't walk easily on their way to have their heads hacked off!

Crown Jewels have step free access.

Top tip: if you think you might go more than once or also go to Hampton Court, Kensington Palace, Kew or the Banquetting Hall (Whitehall) then join Historic Royal Palaces and you can get in all of them for the one yearly subscription. I often saunter in on my lunch break to look at the Crown Jewels.

Wow- we parked at the Tower NCP car park - £2.50 for all day - cracking day out, and the poppies are quite moving.

Just to take you slightly off topic with regards to the congestion zone, as a blue badge holder you would be entitled to 100% discount. You must register though and there is a £10 admin fee but if you're coming down often it may be a sensible idea.
